From next week we start to work on new lift kit, 80mm plus brake system. (Final lift will be over 120mm!! This 80 mm is just development for guys that want it later!) At moment driving with 40 something (like 2 inch for imperial guys) and its flawless! Even at MAX speed (Around 150 KM/H) have no issues whatsoever. Taken even to the race track!! Installation is super easy and no other changes needed. Now for 80mm sure will be needed brake lines, relocation brackets to make it perfect, better sway bar (Anti rolling bar) to make it sitll capable on the roads and so on. Will see! Will keep you posted.

With the standard grill and bumper off, the Jimny looks a lot less cute and girly compared to normal. The bumper's easy enough to have an alternative one fabricated but a custom grill would be more difficult to make something that looks good.

And here it is how looks at moment!

Now next steps, carbon fiber LED-Si roof lights! (Can work over 4 days just on battery!!), Super lightweight, massive lumen delivery, customized and possibel to have in few different sizes!
Then new engine setup, 1.6 bore, titanium coated side skirts, ceramic coated top lightewight foged pistons, Arrow Precision H-Beam connectin rods, Longer duration cams. All this to deliver more TORQUE, not really horse power. Target is on 950RPM to climb wihout having need to put accelerator! Means go over 40 degrees only on idle engine speed.
And last but not least solar panels and second electrcal system self sufficient for cooking, Air-Conditioner, refrigerator, plasma TV, PC and some LED-Si lights. ^_^

Considering tht is ALL done in the house, sure will need a week at least! So please look for updates in some week time. ^_^

Given the lift and spacers, I bet there's some wheels and tyres incoming.
